@@wingman-1977 I mean, thermal paste can get pretty dry after a year of shelf life, but I would expect 2 years before it's difficult to remove the cooler. Also there are too many different pastes out there lol. If you're looking to avoid this, use IC Graphite thermal pad. It's a dry solution, and reusable. -2°c worse than regular paste. Benefit outweighs hugely
i mean there still are manufacturers that do glue their cpu coolers on. a pc that my friend got had the cpu glued on with hot glue. shure not likely but still happens
As someone who works for Bestbuy/Geeksquad I must say 2 things. 1 I don't know of a single desktop we (or any other retailer) sell with a glued aio... Like never. 2. Not all stored work on desktop due to it not being in our SOP, so it's a hit or miss so that's probably what happened lol. But yeah no aio fail to often to glue them in.
Glad you chimed that in; I've had nothing but excellent experience with their CS at bestbuy. Granted sometimes the ship out times can cause a bit of a loss. But I doubt GS would simply state they didn't know what to do. Just my 2 c of experience
Before I really knew how easy it is to "build" your own pc I thought that you had to build each individual component and I was always so overwhelmed by the thought.. now that I know how easy it is I feel like it should be called assembling your PC not building it lol
Geek Squad is very hit-and-miss when it comes to diagnosing hardware issues. The whole reason I got into building PCs is that Geek Squad was unable to fix my machine the last time I used their services so I just learned how to do it myself.
Lots of pc places suck at fixing pcs. Brought my pc into local tech place and told them I was getting random crashes after about an hour of gaming. I asked them to test bench my parts. Instead the ran a gpu and cpu stress test and said my pc was fine there was nothing wrong with it. I had a new kit of ram and decided to try switching that out (don't have a 2nd pc so can't test bench my stuff) ram was the problem. It was crashing after I got it back from the pc repair. Switched ram and no more crashes. Kind of a waste of money. I'm building a 2nd pc right now. So if I ever have problems in the future atleast I have a 2nd working pc to test parts.
Don't ever buy a pre-built pc unless it comes with customization out of the box. Either that or get a pc store to assemble one for you if you don't know how.
My first desktop pc was a prebuilt from Acer, it had a GTX 1650 and I tried to upgrade it to an RTX 3050 but the power supply didn’t have enough power so I tried to buy a new one but the motherboard had a 6 pin connector for the power not a 24 pin so I just ended up building a whole new pc
I have to disagree here. I bought my HP gaming pc thru Walmart on a Black Friday sale back in 2018. 1000$ pc for 400$ and out of the box I upgraded the 16gb of ram to 32. till this day has given me no issues. I’ll clean it out yearly and did look into it’s details to see I can still upgrade it today if I wanted to. Granted can only go up to a i7 from an i5 and of course graphics card but I’ve always thought it isn’t broke don’t fix it. I think it just depends the company you’re buying your prebuilt through.

It does exist, Its called a Thermal Adhesive Tape. Its also double sided so this company used thermal tape to adhere a CPU cooler to a part. Its quite scummy practice.
you see, this is why I hate prebuilts. idk if it was ACTUALLY glued or it just seemed like it when it was just a display unit with dried out thermal paste that wouldnt release, but I'd rather just pick my own parts and build my own PC, it's cheaper, and I know it's done right. Most modern desktops are like a high tech lego build that uses screws and actually does something when it's finished. I absolutely love to see people getting into the PCMR because, tbh, it's the best option. Consoles are an okay option simply because for Playstation and Xbox you need to pay for an extra subscription with either Sony or Microsoft to be able to use the online functionality of a game, whereas on PC it just works. Plus on PC you don't have to worry about what works and what doesn't, because most games are already supported on windows, and thanks to Valves work on Proton, we have an actually good option for gaming on linux as long as anti-cheat doesn't deliberately break stuff (looking at you and Byfron, Roblox).
Just bought my first pc two days ago and patiently waiting for it but the next one I’m gonna build it myself…seems fun and bringing something to life would be a kick‼️
I started with a pre-built but before I even settled on it I made sure everything was removable. 6 years later, at this point the only thing that remains of the old prebuilt is the case. Everything else I've slotted in myself~ Just recently upgraded to a ryzen 7 cpu from my previous 3, and installed some more fans. I call it 'Frankenstein'.
So 3-5 years ago got a PC for Christmas. 1060 and i5-5700 Intel CPU. when the crypto pieces dropped drastically a little while ago I bought an 1070 to upgrade. Could have done 1080 to but my PC has rivits holding everything in, and big mounts for the DVD drive. Small case, had to take tin snips and cut out the holders for the disk drive just to make the card fit in the case. I hate prebuilds for the fact they are just trying to do what every other tech company does, nad not allowing us the right to repair. But luckily they aren't dominating the market and we still fight back.
I’ve been told if someone at geek squad in the back room says I don’t want to work on this They all just say they don’t know how to fix it Even when they might know how
If you get a prebuilt at least get “IBuyPower”. They give you a good motherboard, power supply, and case. The only thing they cheap out on is the Ram, cpu, and gpu. But that’s fine because you should put your own gpu, cpu, ram anyways
Never Ever buy a pre-built! i didn't know nothing about PCs but i made the decision to buy separate parts and build it myself with the help of reddit and build videos on youtube. it doesn't look as shiny and tidy but it works like a charm.
Proprietary sucks. Ever since some makers made their power supply’s that if you went aftermarket you’d fry the MB due to a convoluted molex connector back a few years ago. Maybe still. Personal builds are always preferred.
My first real pc was a pre built. It got a better gpu and powersupply first and when I wanted to change cpu I had to replace the mobo so I just build a custom system myself from the ground up
I'm so confused about the gpu replacement. The whole short talks about the cpu overheating. Also I have to wonder if the heat from the overheating cpu would eventually melt the glue? Or if it's possible to melt the glue with heat and solvent without causing any further damage?
You guys got me to build my own pc. It was so fun! Do plan a lot though, I meant to only upgrade my graphics card but ended up building a new pc😂. All of my parts didn’t go together. The only parts I didn’t replace was the RAM CPU and SSD.
now i know why some people like to build their own pc but it comes with a price to pay that if something breaks you have to pay for it prebuild pc when something breaks the company pays for it
IDK why any reasonably handy person wouldn't build their own PC nowadays. Cases, motherboards and other components are _much_ easier to put together nowadays as compared to 20-25 years ago when I started.
I agree building yourself is super easy as long as you don’t start out with the most complicated custom water cooling setup … and even that would be doable with proper research.
My prebuilt, I got it yesterday, it kept booting into bios but I fixed it. Today I can't even play games because of gpu artifacts and the screen freezes, even when I am not playing games. I can't update the drivers cos it freezes every time I try! 😢
And i think people thsts new to pc gaming a pre built is a good choice.. then once they understand how it all works then they have more knowledge on how to build a gaming pc when they decide to buy a new one
Twist it like a jar and it’ll pop right off, I remember my cpu fan got stuck to the point I was lifting the entire pc from the cooler trying to rip it off, I twisted and it popped off immediately
A cpu cooler has screws. If it’s screwed in properly then it shouldn’t break when the pc is dropped. But a pc shouldn’t even be dropped in the first place
bro even the prebuilt pc i bought from a sketchy ass website put a psu bomb but didnt glue the cpu cooler wtf 💀

Dried thermal paste more likely. Warm up cpu for a bit, apply 99% isopropyl, twist and gently pry until suction releases

I'm 90% sure its just dried thermal paste which is so dried it connected the cpu to the cooler and wouldn't come off
